Future-Predicting Lake
Tsomgo is one of the most famous lakes located in North Sikkim. The lake looks striking; especially in winter when it is covered with snow. However, as per the local legends, the colour of this lake has great significance with the future of the region. When the lake looks dull and dark, the locals believe that tough time is ahead for them.
The Myth of the Dead Soldier
Baba Mandir is another famous spot in Sikkim. It has a temple in remembrance of Indian soldier Harbhajan Singh or Baba Harbhajan Singh. He died in 1968 while on duty in this very spot. However, it is believed that he is still protecting this place from the enemy troops. Army men from both sides of the border tend to believe that there is a man riding on a horse every night monitoring this area. He even warns the soldiers about upcoming dangers.
Wish Fulfilling Lake
